Kennedy Stamp of Approval

Caroline Kennedy said the VP search with Obama strengthened her endorsement:

I’ve campaigned with him and seen him in large settings, but to see the way he asked questions, listened, brought people together, with his leadership style and the kind of judgments he was making, really made me think he was even better than I thought he was. Source

According to Robert Kennedy's Wife and Daughter

Rory Kennedy writes:

Times are far too dark, the price of failure too steep and the road ahead too perilous for us to vote on identity politics. I would love to see a woman be president. I would love to see an African American be president. But right now, what I would love most is to elect the best person for the job.

I believe that person is Sen. Barack Obama. As a leader, he has inspired generations of Americans to look beyond reductive categories like gender or race. Instead, he calls on us to think past our own individual interests, to envision a world that is better for every person in it.

Recently, my mother, Ethel Kennedy, said of Obama: 'I think he feels it. He feels it just like Bobby did. He has the passion in his heart. He's not selling you. It's just him.'

GO BARACK!!

So we have the brother of John F. Kennedy and Robert Kennedy endorsing Obama along with JFK's daughter and RFK's wife and daughter. Rory Kennedy and Caroline Kennedy have both put their strong, clear, direct, endorsements in writing so we will understand how they came to their decision to support Barack Obama instead of Hillary Clinton. This is unprecedented. This is the first major Presidential endorsement from the Kennedy clan that was not a Kennedy.

I hope that you will study the issue.

A President Like My Father
By CAROLINE KENNEDY

The entire article is here. This is an excerpt.

Senator Obama is running a dignified and honest campaign. He has spoken eloquently about the role of faith in his life, and opened a window into his character in two compelling books. And when it comes to judgment, Barack Obama made the right call on the most important issue of our time by opposing the war in Iraq from the beginning.

I want a president who understands that his responsibility is to articulate a vision and encourage others to achieve it; who holds himself, and those around him, to the highest ethical standards; who appeals to the hopes of those who still believe in the American Dream, and those around the world who still believe in the American ideal; and who can lift our spirits, and make us believe again that our country needs every one of us to get involved.

I have never had a president who inspired me the way people tell me that my father inspired them. But for the first time, I believe I have found the man who could be that president — not just for me, but for a new generation of Americans.
